FISHY!!!!

So. I have a fish. And his name is Gill. Just so you're not confused, he was not christened after this commonly known Gill from "Finding Nemo":

He was named after this one, from the movie "What About Bob?":

Yeah, he's pretty rad. And for a cold-blooded creature, he is really cute. I mean REALLY cute! Get this--when the light is on in his tank, he likes to play with his reflection. The first night I got him, I caught him trying to fight with his reflection-self... silly fish :)

(Look at that cute fish!!!)

Albert Einstein once said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Do you ever get caught up in thinking that you are a stupid fish? I do sometimes. Well, I mean, I don't necessarily think I'm a fish ('cause how ridiculous would that be?!), but there are times when I just think to myself, "I can't do this! I am such a flop!" And in doing so, I completely miss all the potential I have in other areas of my life!

I think sometimes succeeding isn't about being the best or being perfect at everything we do... I think it has more to do with figuring out our strengths--discovering who we are--and then using that knowledge to reach our greatest potential. So remember, it's okay to be a fish :)
